If your group has the trust, there is something to be said for making all rolls GM rolls. The GM is going to tell you how it turns out anyway so why not just make them roll? Let them handle the mechanical elements of the game so the players can focus on the role play.
I used to play when the basic D&D was out, we rolled. Later in highschool we had this amazing story telling dramatic DM, he did all the dicerolls. At first it felt odd, but since he kept the story moving it let you focus on group communication and your own role play.
The modern game is so much simpler than the old ones. I'm so glad to see the back of THAC0
We had transitioned from the Basic, Advanced, then whatever the THACO version was. I didn't mind it so much but didn't have too much exposure to it.
It made for a good comic though, the image was: d&d character in a tavern trying to hit on a female patron. The caption was ; Hey babe what's your THACO
